FUV–NUV colour map of the main body of NGC 7252. The pixels are colour-coded in units of FUV–NUV colour. The point spread function for UVIT is shown in black circle. The image measures ~ 50′′ × 50′′ and corresponds to a physical size of ~16 kpc on each side. Age contours of 150 (red), 250 (green), 300 (blue) Myr are overlaid over the colour map to isolate regions of constant age. The blue ring is clearly seen with bluer colour clumps. The ring hosts young (≲ 150 Myr) stellar populations compared to the rest of the galaxy.
